Examples:

As the wind does blow
Across the trees, I see the
Buds blooming in May

I walk across sand

And find myself blistering
In the hot, hot heat

Falling to the ground,
I watch a leaf settle down
In a bed of brown.

It’s cold—and I wait
For someone to shelter me
And take me from here.

I hear crackling
Crunch, of today’s new found day

And know it won’t last

So I will leave it
At bay; and hope for the best
This bitter new day
